THE "COHSERVAT/OMOF MEAT BT
TEACHING THEM TO BECOME FARMERS
President Barrett Says a Chain of Agricultural Colleges to
Teach Farming in Practical Way is Only .Solution.
Atlanta, Oct. 11.—[Special.]—The
coLservation of men by teaching them
to become “business” farmers, accord
ing to President Charles 8. Barrett, of
the National Farmers’ Union, is the
greatest issue in the United States to
day.
This must be done, he says, by bring
ing cheap agricultural education to the
farmer boy in every county in the
country, and it is work upon this line
to which he now proposes to devote his
attention.
It will be recalled that the National
Farmers’ Union at its recent conven
tion in Birmingham, Ala , authorized
the establishment of a central agricul
tural university. This is the core of
President Barrett’s plan. From it he
hopes and expects to project, ultimate
ly, into every American State and every
American county agricultural schools
where a boy can work his way through
and where, if he Is prepared to pay his
tuition, the charge will not exceed SSO.
Already several States and cities are
bidding for the location of the central
college. As it will require several
buildings and approximately 1,000
acres of ground, the directors, headed
by Mr. Barrett, will make selection
only after great deliberation and much
study.
In discussing the matter Mr. Barrett
said any man who has observed condi
tions, “knows the necessity of turning
the tide from the city back to the farm.
At present and for years past it has set
in the direction of the city and away
from the farm.”
To this tendency from the farm to
the city Mr. Barrett ascribes in large
measure, the increased cost of living.
He says:
“We are reaching a crisis in the
affairs of this country. With popula
tion increasing each year and prosper-,
ity keeping pace, still the man of aver
age means finds himself faced with the
necessity of paying- more and more for
the cost of living. One‘of the reasons
is that we are ceasing to keep the most
vigorous of the rural population on the
farm. We keep saying, parrot-like,
‘Back to the land,’ but they are not
going back to the land. And unless
we can find some way to keep the
young men on the farms, and to train
them to-the end of making farming a
scientific business, we shall fail to find
a solution for the gravest problem of
our day.”'
Mr. Barrett announced that as soon
as a site tor the central university has
lieen selected, the movement regarding
the county schools will be speedily
taken up.
“There is no reason why,” he said,
“weshould not support, eventually,
one practical agricultural school where
boyscan learn real farming, in every
county in the United States. It really
amounts to a revolutionizing of the
rural problem. For the methods at
our schools wid all be directed toward
developing the community spirit in
every part of the country. The farmer
of today is too much of an individual
ist; he is too independent.- He hesi
tates to make concessions so that by
concert of action he can advance the
general welfare. We are going to at
tack the problem from this angle. Co
operation will be one of our strongest
weapons. The bojr will learn how to
depend upon his own efforts, but
be will also learn how indispensable it
is to work in intelligent harmony with
his neighbor and with society at large.
“Viewed from a broad standpoint
these schools will simply teach life.
They will emphasize the present ideals
of the farmer wherever they are worthy.
They will substitute new ideals where
they are unworthy and unaehieving.
Each one of these schools will lie a
kind of mission for the dissemination of
sentiment of this nature.
“At these schools there will be no
frills, but just work. We are not going
to squander any money in magnificent
buildings. We will be satisfied if we
get log cabins, provided the structure
is substantial and roomy. Everything
will be built with an idea to teach les
sons in artistic beauty. A real farm of
several hundred acres will accompany
each school. Each student should be
required to do at least a half-day’s work
daily in the field along the lines he has
decided upon. It must be aetual, hon
est farm work and not just a little dab
bling and experimenting.
“We think the boy should be trained
for the fat m in a practical way just as
carefully as he is trained for the Jaw,
for medicine or for an.y business or pro
fession. The American boy of today is
going to the city for the natural lure of
civilization, the facilities for advance
ment, for fortune, for education, for
pleasure and for development and the
penalty is being visited upon the na
tion.
“The mischief is jnst )>egun and un
less this tendency is checked good
workers on the farm.wlll become scarcer
each year; we will begin eventually to
import our food supplies and the Cost
of living will rise out of all propor
tion to the income of the average
American.
“I honestly lielieve the chain of
schools which I have in mind is the
sole remedy. We need to reform our ex
travagant and wasteful methods; we
need more capable producers Life in
the country must be made more at
tractive, and the result aimed at can, 1
feel confident, be obtained through
these schools.”
President Barrett said the centra;
university would be the moat complete
and extensive institutiontof its kind in
the world.
“Os course all this will require tre
mendous expenditure,” he said. “But
I have no fear of being able to get all
the backing needed at the start from
our own people and from the people of
the Squth.. We are going slowly at
first, but it is my intention to make
my life work the development and
consummation of this plan. I will
never rest until it is worked out to its
qast detail. ”

gotten under good headway and for a
time a whole block was in danger.
They soon succeeded In sulxlulng the

even though one of the steamers was
out of working order.
From al) ap|>earanees the fire origi

floor was burned, together with all
the furniture on that floor.
The furniture company’s stock on
the firstand second floors of the build
ing adjoining w’as also slight)}’ dam
aged by smoke and water.
The bakery company estimates its
damages to be alxiut *6OO, and is in
sured for SIOO. The furniture com
pany had about a *5,000 stock, and
carried *3,000 insurance.
Both buildings lielong to B. R.
Blakely, who,carried *1,250 on the
building occupied by the bakery, and
also had insurance on the other build
ing, which was only slightly dam
aged.
Though it was early In the morn
ing a large crowd of citizens came up
town to see the fire, whlbh was the
most disastrous one Griffin has hud in
quite awhile.

the Protestant churches be under one
standard ?
Fifty thousand earnest and enthus

are of the opinion that this hope of
centuries will be realized, their belief
beirg voiced in the words of the Rev.
Frederick M. Gordon, chairmen of
the entertainment committee of the
convention, who declared:
“This convention will, I am sure,
mark the beginning of a movement
which eventually will mean the union
of all the Protestant churches under

Few Months.
Jackson, Ga., Oct. 11.—The in
crease in tax returns in Jackson in
in 1909 over l!»0k is *IIO,OOO, this
being the largest gain in the history

Huntsville, Ala., Oct. 11.—A. L.
Grogan, of Atlanta, will get *3,K00
for remaining in jail one hour and a
half if a verdict of a law ami equity
court jury stands. The judgment'is
against the Abingdon mills, of this
city. Grogan was a labor agent for
an Atlanta concern and when became
here with transportation for mill la
bor he was arrested at the instance
of the Abington mills on a charge of
enticing laborers. He was tried and
acquitted as era brief time .spent Jn
jail and came back at his prosecutors
with a suit for *IO,OOO.
If people with symptoms of kidney
or bladder trouble could realize their
danger they would without loss of lime
commence taking Foley’s Kidney Rem
edy. This great remedy stops the pain
and the irreglarities, strengthens and
builds up these organs and there is no
danger of Bright’s disease or other
serious disorder. Do not disregard the
early symptoms. Thon. J. Brooks.

HUNTING Tn thT“arctic.
Some Might Find It Celd. Tsnw Work.
Says Harry Whiln«y.
Speaking of his bunting experiences
In and near the arctic circle. Barry
Whitney, tbe sportsman to wbom Dr.
Cook intrusted bls Instruments amt
some of hi* records, said:
"I may go again In tbe summer, but
never again in tbe winter. 1 bad
enough of that game this trip. Tbe
long arctic winter is terrible. Why.
for 100 days it is pitch dark. There is
tbe pale arctic moon, of couree. but
tbe depression of tbe long nlgbt is
something to be remembered. I can tell
you.
"As a game country It Is wonderful.
Tt was* tbe beet shooting 1 ever en
joyed. J did most of my shooting with
a 30-40 repeater. Tbe Eskimos laugh
ed when they saw tbe caliber of thia
rifle, thinking it not large enough for
bear or walrus. They use forty-Hres.
Tbe bigger the better they like them.
They were amazed when they saw
how I could stop the game with the
little bullet of the 30-40. 1 took a 35
caliber north with me. but 1 did not
use It so much as my other gun. 1
t* re the 35 to an Eskimo.
•‘During tbe long night I had great
sport with a little automatic 22 caliber
rifle. 1 shot arctic hare*, ducks and
all kinds of small game with ft. and
tbe cold didn't affect automatic
cartridges Jn tbe least. aiMfift was some
cold Jit that. I went north mainly to
hunt musk oien* Jmt also had gq*l
luck with kinds of arctic game.
4bc polar bear? the seal, tbe walrus,
white iM-ar and whale. As far as bunt
ing went I was very successful, but to
some sportsmen shooting this game
might srein cold, tame work. Os tbene
specimens of game tbe only exciting or
dangerous to bunt are the bear and
tbe walrus.” ’ ;
H«r Suffering-
"Ah.” she sighed, “for many yuan
I’ve suffered from dyspepsia.” j
“And don't you take anything for
